Honda CB650R E-Clutch 2024

Honda CB650R E-Clutch 2024

Powerful and smooth-running four-cylinder engine Innovative E-Clutch system for comfortable gear changes

Good suspension for a sporty and comfortable rider

User-friendly ergonomics and intuitive TFT display

Higher weight compared to the competition

Standard tyres offer handling that could be improved

Slight vibrations at high revs

Suspension reaches its limits at very high speeds

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

The Yamaha MT-09 SP is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground! The Yamaha MT-09 EVO with Wilbers suspension is now available as an interesting alternative, because it has no "war paint" and is very discreet. But unfortunately only for Switzerland...
